I hope so! But unfortunately, opponents often don't have to go through voters, their role as donors, or potential donors to opponents, is enough. 1/

If we could get public engagement for a smart capital flow management norm, that might override, but as you say, it'd take some education before voters see and understand and might affirmatively support this stuff. 2/

I don't think it's impossible! I think voters are only stupid when the zone is flooded with shit, and under anything approaching sane electoral, media, and civil society institutions publics can be powerfully motivated for not obvious or stupid things. 3/

So, I try to do my part to make the case. But I'm not so hopeful under current circumstances, when the zone is noah's flood of shit, our commercial institutions prefer we stay divided and subject to their algorithms and ads, our electoral institutions encourage fascism. /fin
